From The Irish Families Project
County Clare, Ireland, Books of the Month:

1) The Families of County Clare, Ireland. (hardbound). http://www.irishroots.com/id4985.htm
Containing hundreds of Irish Families not found in our
other works.
We have early records of Viking raids from Scandinavia
which included landings at Galway Bay on the north of
Clare and up the Shannon River into Limerick in the south
of the county.
When the new geographical division called ‘Co. Clare’ was
formed in 1565, it would hold most of the territory earlier
known as Thomand. In earlier times the territory of Thomand
was larger than Co. Clare, containing major parts of Co.
Limerick and Co. Tipperary, running to the borders of
Kilkenny and Queens County. The exact boundaries were
somewhat flexible, rising and falling with the fortunes of the
families of Thomand.
Co. Clare is bordered by the Atlantic Ocean on the west, and
by Lough Derg and the Shannon river on the east and south.
It is thus separated from Tipperary, Limerick and Kerry.
These natural barriers would become a part of the reason
Clare remained independent for so long. They also give Clare
a flavor of its own.
It is not surprising to find links between the families of
Limerick, Tipperary and Clare. Because of the close geography
and because of a shared history within the kingdom of
Thomand. In the 17th century we find Irish from all over
Ireland ‘invited’ into Clare. For example, dispossessed Irish in
nearby Co. Kerry were given rights to settle in the barony of
the Burren in Co. Clare. (see map for examples).

2) County Clare, Ireland, Genealogy & Family History Notes.http://www.irishroots.com/id4874.htm
Our spiral bound, county research book. This is not a gigantic
compilation of history on specific families, but rather it is set
up to help research any family within the borders of Co. Clare.

3) The Book of Irish Families, great & small.
with hundreds of families from County , Ireland.http://www.irishroots.com/id4098.htm
The master volume to the set, including index to all volumes,
and thousands of family histories throughout Ireland.

History of the Name
The family name seems to be centered in County Cork in
many of our records, and it is found as a prinicpal name
in Cork City in the 1659 Irish ‘Census’. As would be
expected the Provinceof Munster holds most of the name.
